Is there any Yorick skin planned (are you even allowed to talk about this, dear Rito?)

I play Yorick since forever, and I love the rework, it really preserved the soul of Yorick while making him less toxic, however the fact stays that Yorick has got no skins for 6 years.

I recently bought Undertaker Yorick, but honestly even after rework both Yorick skins are pretty "meh". It's not that the artist did bad job, it's just that those skins don't really have much going on in them. They are both pretty, but at the same time they don't really feel like you have your champion skinned.

Poppy got an uber-cool skin soon after her rework, can Yorick player hope for anything finally too? I know there are a few of us, but still, Yorick only has release skins after 6 years.

Hey 2bad2badger!

In our recent State of Skins post, we committed to making new skins for several champions in the upcoming months, including Yorick. That's all the info we're sharing at the moment, but we'll be able to share more when it comes time to put him on PBE! :)

Do I sound too much as a cry baby if I ask: "what about AurelionSol ?"

The ashen lord has a beautiful splash, I haven't seen it in game myself

Quite good, but not really on par with his base model, and I have some personal dislike sin it:

The attack sound is like metal plates humping eachother and it rapes my ears each time I have to issue an attack command and then cancel it to either attack something else or move away.
The passive flame orbs aren't as fluid and satisfying to land as his stars.

We haven't officially announced if something is or isn't in the works, so I've got nothin' to share at the moment. Sorry!

I've said this before, and I'll keep saying it.

I sincerely hope that this skins team will not only make a skin for Yorick that's worth the more than 6 year wait, but that they also commit to helping him catch up to similarly aged champions (Vayne and Leona).

What the chocolate fudge? Poppy got her Star Guardian skin almost an entire year after her rework. What is this "soon after" nonsense?

Anyway, yes.

I feel like we're tackling some major pain points this year and feel confident committing to you that you will be receiving skins for Cassiopeia, Viktor, Yorick, Illaoi (and more) over the next 12 months.

Sion got his first post rework skin after over a year and a half. Gangplank first post VGU skin was Dreadnova, which was over a year after his VGU too.

ShirukuSamaJun 1, 20171 votes

Nope. GP's Captain Gankplank skin came out with his rework.

People keep posting this like it suddenly makes the last six years ok or something. Remember we were promised Dragon Master Swain...twice. At the end of the day Riot has and will say a lot of things but whether or not they actually do it is the important thing.

GreenLoreMay 30, 20173 votes

Honestly,Riot got a lot better at promising things.

I mean we were promised the reworks for Galio Warwick Poppy Yorick Taric and we got them. We were promised to get AurelionSol in 2016 and we got him.

When was the last time they didn't deliver something that they promised?

Also from what I recall they only said they were working on Dragonmaster swain(or that they wanted to make him),but didn't promise him.

Yoricks skin should be at least legendary tier given how long its been. Riot better not troll us with a 750 knock off, like warden yorick

GreenLoreMay 30, 20171 votes

I'd say a 975 or 1350 would be better,since not everyone wants to buy a legendary one.

Recent leak said Arcade Yorick soon. Although tbh that doesn't fit yorick AT ALL. At least it is something I guess.

SukishooMay 30, 20172 votes

That leak was confirmed to be fake.

That's the point of a skin though right? New alt. universe story and idea

True. Just personally I lean more towards the serious skins than funny. (although not saying fun skins are bad)

Grace Of KaizenMay 30, 20171 votes

There was a recent leak, not sure if it was true, but if it was then yes yorick will be getting one.

LeyinMay 30, 20171 votes

Riot said that they will care now about champs that get no skins for a long time, but they wait until they got there reworked to make the skin much better. So I guess we will see a Yorick skin this year ( not arcade Yorick, the leak was a fake)

SukishooMay 30, 20171 votes

They said in the Skin Dev Blog that Yorick, among many other champions will get a skin within the next 12 months.

mr Boombastic787May 31, 20171 votes

It reasently got leaked that a arcade Yorik is in development (I'd love me some shovelknight), though nothing is confirmed. Also if the leak was real it is probably early in development, so it is posible that it gets canceled.

I've read online the idea for a gardener Yorick, credit to some guy named Cheesyleeks, where his ghouls are replaced with bees and he throws honey at people with his E to attract the bees to swarm and his ult summoned the queen bee. If that came into reality i might cry.
